Methodology Brief

Audit. Build. Run.

A three-phase consulting practice for serious lifters, coaches, and high-output founders. One diagnostic. One written operating system. One disciplined cadence — engineered against the specific bottlenecks holding strong work back.

Engagement length
12 to 52 weeks
Deliverables
Written audit, plan, weekly review
Response window
24 hours, every week
Phase One

Phase 01 Audit

Two to four weeks. A written diagnostic of where strong work is leaking — programming, recovery, schedule, measurement, and the honest gap between intention and execution.

Deliverables

  • 01Training-history reconstruction across the last 12 months
  • 02Recovery-debt and stress-load mapping
  • 03Schedule + adherence audit against actual calendar data
  • 04Written diagnostic memo with the three most expensive bottlenecks
Nothing gets prescribed yet. The audit ends with a meeting and a memo — not a program.
Phase Two

Phase 02 Build

Four to eight weeks. One written operating system — the program, the recovery protocol, the weekly cadence — scoped against the bottlenecks the audit surfaced. No templates, no generic block.

Deliverables

  • 01Programming block tailored to the audited gap (8-12 weeks)
  • 02Recovery and load-management protocol with explicit thresholds
  • 03Weekly review template installed and rehearsed with the client
  • 04Measurement stack: the four numbers we watch every Sunday
Build is where the practice earns its keep. Most of what we cut is more important than what we add.
Phase Three

Phase 03 Run

Ongoing, month-to-month. The disciplined cadence that turns one good plan into compounding results. A 24-hour response window, a Sunday review, a quarterly recompete.

Deliverables

  • 01Weekly written review of the four-number stack — every Sunday
  • 02Monthly recalibration of load, volume, and recovery markers
  • 03Quarterly recompete — programming reset, audit refresh, KPI review
  • 0424-hour response window for any blocker, every week
The work is boring on purpose. The compounding is not.
